Ao ni Naku
So the story telling is great, the art is brilliant and the characters are interesting. However, I strongly wish he was a freshmen in college instead of hs. Or even a senior, it still would of worked. There is this one line that sums up the whole mode well. This sense of innocence and starting something new together a fresh start. They both were able to find what they lacked in each other, they are supporting one another. But the timing is wrong. The equality of the couple is off for me. He is too young and its like he latched onto him in grief of his jiichan and just going along with the flow and perhaps convenience instead of genuinely liking him. And the other is thankful for all that he has provided him. I think this story would of been much sweeter and hit differently if he was starting college or just graduated. He is still entering a new stage in his life, adulthood and the juxtaposition with Kiku being a "new born" or sorts would of made the new life they embarked on together all the more sweet.

A love for all time. I wept, I couldnt put it down. I'm so thankful they made it. Soulmates, that would do anything for one another. What a good read.
